Paper Pumpkin September 2016

The Paper Pumpkin journey continues!

This kit was getting you ready for fall and halloween so of course I was super excited to open it! The original plan is to make little candy tube with tags. Cute idea, but I was not thrilled with the tags as most of it was already printed. There was very little stamping options.

Now let me tell you what I love ... the pumpkin stamp! It is so cute!! It is a layering stamp so it takes a couple stamps to make one pumpkin, but I'm in love. I think the the whole box is worth it just for the little pumpkin!

Anyway, this is what I came up with:

Apparently I had a theme going! I hope you like the cards and have a great day!

WWYS #84 Ghoulish Grunge

I really, really love the new stamp set Ghoulish Grunge and it is the basis for the What Would You Stamp Challenge #84.

It is very versatile and can be used as a really good background stamp. Here is what I came up with (Halloween themed, of course).

Hubby said this was his favorite :) Hope they do too at the challenge!

Paper: Smokey Slate, Whisper White, Basic Black, Basic Grey
Ink: Staz On Jet Black, Smokey Slate
Stamps: Ghoulish Grunge, Gorgeous Grunge, Recollections Haunted

Trick or Treat - PP #315 Challenge

The challenge today is from The Paper Players #315. Here is the sketch:

This is a theme challenge. Since Halloween is the best theme, I had to submit! So, I came up with this fun card. The washi tape from Stampin' Up is so cute this year so I made it stand out in this card.

The bats are not upside down, they are just flying that direction :P

Hope you enjoy and are getting in the spooky spirit like me!

Paper Pumpkin June 2016

Whew! I'm finally getting this post out! I actually had a lot of fun doing this project (while re-watching all the Star Wars movies!).

Here is the original project plan:

But, I wanted to make it my own ... so here's what I came up with:

Cute, right? I had a lot of fun with this months Project Pumpkin. I love the stripes especially. Plus anything with sparkly sequins is always fun in my book!

Have a great day!
